how to disable superkey for unity!

[rinaldow]

For anyone who wants to turn off the freaky superkey (windowskey) function for unity in ubuntu 10.10:

- start terminal (no root)
- type "gconf-editor" and press the enter key.
- go to "/apps/mutter/general/overlay_key"
-->erase the "Superkey_L" from the string
- do a restart and you're ready to go

Your advantage hereby is that you can set up keyboard sho:

Windows Vs. Ubuntu = Function
superrtcuts in combo with superkey, and unity not interrupting it...
I am used to windows 7, so i was trying to implement the windows shortcuts into ubuntu, and that went terrible for me in UNE 10.10

S.O.S.
how to disable superkey for unity on 11.10?

[giancarlocp]

It wasn't so tough
on 11.10 ccsm is not default installed neither gconf-editor.

$ sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager gconf-editor.

on ccsm is in "Ubuntu Unity Plugin"
http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/06/5...untu-1104.html

on gconf-editor is in apps/metacity/global_keybindings/, the value of “panel_main_menu” is “Alt+F1”
http://ubuntuguide.net/ubuntu-using-...nome-main-menu
same on ccsm "Gnome Compatibility".

There is a trap, if you change that key, launchers (Super+1,Super+2...)
are disable, even if you use another key.

i have to live with that.
